Tarte (a French term) in the food context refers to a baked dish consisting of a pastry base and a filling. It is characterized by having no top crust (unlike a pie), leaving the filling exposed. Tartes can be either sweet (filled with fruit, custard, or pastry cream) or savory (filled with cheese, vegetables, or meat), and they are typically baked in a shallow, straight-sided pan, often with a removable bottom.
